I am at my sons band concert tonight. Hopefully I will get better pictures tomorrow. Sorry about the delay.

What are you getting for voltages at each battery with the truck running and everything hooked up? Is the red wire at the bolt post on the back of ALT 2 always hot with 12V? It seems to me that your truck wiring is ok. That means no matter what autozone said, you have a problem in your...

I am not an expert of glow plugs either. However, you fail to mention when you tell everybody about how bad the 60G's are a few things. Such as you are running 50% or more non diesel fuel in your truck, you had intermittent power problems recently with your engine and you posted something...

They didn't start it, but it sure looks like the V and the gun truck were part of the huge brush fire the pyrotechnics for the show did start on Saturday in my picture below. 4 hour delay while around 20 fire trucks put it out.

Flashers on would drain the front battery. What do you need the gear puller for. Unbolting everything and it should come right off.

The passenger side alternator charges the rear battery. That is ALT 2. With the plug on the alternator un plugged. You should have 12 volts on the red wire with the key on or off. The brown wire should be 0 with the key off and 12 volts with the key on. If you are getting that, the problem...

Yes, BFG 33x12.50-15 A/T tires are on mine with stock rims.

Glad you got it going. Congrats to the daughter!

I just used a piece of 1" flat iron, bent it over and around the stock throttle bracket and put some holes in it.

Congrats to both of you Rory!

Is it the front or rear battery? Front could mean anything from lights to key left on. Rear is harder to explain.

I would suggest a different calculator. I just plugged your sizes into this one and got way different answers: Randy's Ring & Pinion. RPM Calculator. I would also suggest measuring your tires and using that as a guide instead of a number from the internet.

No, it is not that big of a puzzle. We both know the short is between the steering wheel and the seat. Sorry Taylor. I have been trying to work that line into a post for years and this thread just called out for it.

My M715 had two seperate wiring systems in it by the time I got it. Stock and what the town mechanic had run to make things work as they broke and he couldn't figure stuff out. When I got it, it needed to be inspected. He actually asked me what all those levers on the floor do while he was...

The rear axle is narrower than the front to aid tight turning around things. Yes, they will track different going straight. In a turn however, they will cut less to the inside of the front tire track than a full width axle will. Basically, this makes the truck very easy to drive around trees...

If you are getting 12V power to the switch on the column, then the problem is between there and the starter relay. You are getting 24V to the starter relay, right?

Patience and knowledge. Save up your money while you look at vehicles local to you, on line and anywhere else you can think of. Spend a few days by opening up the CUCV forum here. Go back to the oldest post listed and read every single thread. It will take a while, but questions to...

I think you are enjoying this thread a little too much John. Nice pictures though.

Yes, you are supposed to start with the two marks lined up, use the mentioned above timing light, turn off the engine and advance or retard the pump timing to make the timing correct. Then fire it back up to verify you did correct. Adjust as needed. Since most people don't have the timing...

Full convertible is a great idea. I wanted a soft top M35 for just that reason. I pull the hard top off the M715, lay the windshield down and love it. I was drawn to the M1009 for among other reasons, the removable rear shell. However, reality sets in. Rain, cold, heat, spiders, cats and...
